IT’S A TRAP!
New work by Jake Henry
June 1 – 30, 2012
Opening Friday, June 1st, 7 – 10 pm

Space 1026 is proud to present a new body of work by Philadelphia-based artist, Jake Henry. A former Space 1026 member, Henry’s studio practice often references precarious contemporary themes while staying firmly rooted in the sturdy craft of past. It’s a Trap! exhibits a range of accessible pieces based in metals, printmaking, wood and more. The show centers around overscale models of the ever-present image of the cartoon snare. Sand casting is excellent for prototypes and jobs that might require flexibility in both size and weight. The only size and weight restrictions are the amounts of materials available and the size of the foundry.

Born and raised in the small agricultural community of Tipton, Indiana, Jake Henry
